Re: [Bug 1317098] Re: Menu transparency behaves strangely

 

and what if you select another shape for menus (it's available in the
advanced configuration, under "menus and dialogs")
for instance using the "tooltip" shape
that's the only parameter I see that changes with the CD theme (colors
being obviously not a potential cause)

Title:
  Menu transparency behaves strangely

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1. In the menus (applications menu, right-click menus), items often
  lose their backgrounds (become fully transparent) when the mouse has
  touched them (and they stay that way until the menu is closed and re-
  opened.

  2.  AFAICT, the menus use the default fill, and there's no way through
  the GUI (I haven't tinkered around with the config files yet) to
  override this.  Worse, I can find no way to set the text colour, so
  the menus in the theme I'm building currently appear black on black.
  This may be me being stupid.

  My setup: Cairo-Dock 3.3.99.beta1, Lubuntu Trusty 64bit, (currently
  running on OpenBox without LXDE), Compton, Intel GM965/GL960 graphics.
  I've attached an affected theme.
